One of the most beloved names in children's literature has always been D -Seus. Theodore Gisel (his real name, with Seus being his middle name) was one of the most prominent creative minds of the 20th century, with stories and pictures of his that resonates with an audience young and old. His "Oh, the places you go!" is a readiness for any high school graduation ceremony through college. Stories like Lorax have hit just as hard today for their direct commentary on the world as a whole, as seen through a fantastic prism. And his pleasantly unstable "cat in the hat" is a wonderful picture of youthful problems for a pair of children overseeing the mice of the same name, which is not the safest world's safest.

But while the "cat in the hat" (the book) is loved, and while the book inspired several different adapted downloads, the 2003 film version is quite widespread. And that is for good reason; As you can see yourself If you dare transfer it to Netflix"The cat in Kat" collects an impressive list of actors and creatives in the service of A nightmare with a big budget. Part of the problem is simply inherent in the works of D -Seus; Although his work is unforgettable, it is not difficult enough to deserve adaptation in length, which means that the writers involved in such a project will need to add many unnecessary substrates. But the fact that the film was badly familiar with critics was almost superfluous because the film was so quickly missed by the audience with rough boxing accounts that served as an important barometer. That's because of This The film that Seus's property has banned live adaptations by action progressing forward.

To be clear, it is not that Dr. Seus himself banned such adaptations; In fact, with his death in the fall of 1991, his wife Audrey was protecting him from the legacy that Seus left behind. Of course she did not refuse to have adaptations of some kind done by his work. You can visit the field with Dr. Seus topics at the Orlando Universal Studio, although it was something the company had to persuade to do. (That's something comparable to the level of involvement that FC Rowling asked to consider as a universal carrying the world of "Harry Potter" in life in its thematic parks around the world.) Universal was able to conquer Geseel in the late 90's , Not only by winning the rights of "as Grynch stole Christmas", but also by convincing her that the only person who can play Grynch in real life is the comedian with rubber, Jimim Kerry.

There is no doubt that Geysel's comics may not have been the same as Kerry, but she approved his casting. And, whether you think the film was held in 2025 (this writer would claim it absolutely not), it is undeniable that the 2000 adaptation of "As Grinch Stole Christmas" was a hit on the box office, with $ 260 million home. Of course, Universal wanted to return to the well, using another comedian with a big name to another famous world of Seussia. Enter Mike Meyers, at the top of his fame like Austin Powers, Shrek and the Cat in Cap. As early as 2004, Geysel talked to today For Seus's inheritance (to his centennial), but also about how little he enjoyed Meyers' work. "I've never seen Austin Powers, but I knew" yes, baby! "And I didn't want to (that)," she said today.

While that international man of mystery does not appear specifically in the film, directed by Bo Welch, Meyers seems to jump from character to character while showing the cliff cat in a hat, almost similar to seeing someone doing a genene on Disney but , in live action. Even at the time, it was clear that the film was not working, as it barely crossed the brand of $ 100 million to the domestic cashier and was welcomed with very harsh views.

Even with trio writers working on the seminal part of the NBC Sitkom Seinfeld, even by joining Meyers Alec Baldwin and Kelly Preston, even with a short jaw time of 82 minutes (and it includes them The final loans), the 2003 Cat's version of the Cat was a pretty clear flop from the word. And Gisel was able to enter and look for such ideas live to scatter forward. Again, it's not like the books of D -Seus not serve as a rich set of options for people in the animation industry to adapt. If you are looking for a version of "The Cat in the Hat" starring Canadian alum on Saturday Night Live, you will be well served by watching the animated PBS show starring Martin Fort as the same name. It may not be the highest quality children's program, but it is much more pleasant than the film. And more importantly, it feels very true about the spirit of the D -Seus with the fact that it is animated.

And for wit, while the live adaptations of the work of Seus have stopped, Universal has once again managed to keep matters using Seus as a source of intellectual property. One of his key animation studies, illumination entertainment, has already created great versions of Lorax (starring Dani Davito as a title character, along with Ed Helms, Zac Efron and Taylor Swift), as well as "Grynch" (in acting American accented Benedict Cumberbatch). However, in progress, we will see new animated versions of Seuss tales with courtesy of Warner Bros., including adaptation of "Oh, the places you go!" Set up in 2028. And next year, Warner Bros. promises to see a new download ... Okay, no one but the cat in the hat. Yes, it will be animatedAnd yes, it will star alum "SNL" as the title character. But this time, it would be a Food as a cat, joined by Quinta Brunson, Bowen Young and others. Although both Geysels have passed since, we can only hope that these new titles will respect the doctor's legacy. If nothing else, this new "cat" can not be worse than one live action.
